More quotes by Helen Hayes
The faster we travel, the less there is to see.
Helen Hayes
Every human being on this earth is born with a tragedy, and it isn't original sin. He's born with the tragedy that he has to grow up... a lot of people don't have the courage to do it.
Helen Hayes
When books are opened, we discover that we have wings
Helen Hayes
When it comes to staying tuned: if you rest, you rust.
Helen Hayes
Mere longevity is a good thing for those who watch Life from the side lines. For those who play the game, an hour may be a year, a single day's work an achievement for eternity.
Helen Hayes
If you rest, you rust.
Helen Hayes
From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover that you have wings.
Helen Hayes
There's a little vanity chair that Charlie gave me the first Christmas we knew each other. I'll not be parting with that, nor our bed - the four-poster - I'll be needing that to die in.
Helen Hayes
Actors cannot choose the manner in which they are born. Consequently, it is the one gesture in their lives completely devoid of self-consciousness.
Helen Hayes
Yes, I have doubted. I have wandererd off the path. I have been lost. But I always returned. It is beyond the logic I seek. It is intuitive - an intrinsic, built-in sense of direction. I seem to find my way home. My faith has wavered but has saved me.
Helen Hayes
The good die young but not always. The wicked prevail but not consistently. I am confused by life, and I feel safe within the confines of the theatre.
Helen Hayes
We relish news of our heroes, forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too.
Helen Hayes
Always aim for achievement, and forget about success.
Helen Hayes
In this sometimes turbulent world, the river is a cosmic symbol of durability and destiny awesome, but steadfast. In this period of deep national concern, I wish everyone could live for a while beside a great river.
Helen Hayes
Egocentrics are attracted to the inept. It gives them one more excuse for patting themselves on the back.
Helen Hayes
Our house was always filled with dogs... They helped make our house a kennel, it is true, but the constant patter of their filthy paws and the dreadful results of their brainless activities have warmed me throughout the years.
Helen Hayes
There is only one terminal dignity - love.
Helen Hayes
There is no racial or religious prejudice among people in the theater. The only prejudice is against bad actors, especially successful ones.
Helen Hayes
Victoria had the discipline of being a queen to help her through the biggest trial of her life - when she lost Albert and faltered. I've had the discipline of the theatre to help me over the ups and downs. A wonderful life . . Go it old girl. You've done it well.
Helen Hayes
In the last stages of a final illness, we need only the absence of pain and the presence of family.
Helen Hayes
